When GOP Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky told Americans to resist the latest mask mandate from the Centers for Disease Control, leftist Muslim Representative Rashida Tlaib collapsed in a conniption fit.
She accused Paul of throwing a “tantrum,” yet the same day she slammed the libertarian for encouraging Americans to ignore the CDC, Tlaib ignored it herself. The angry daughter of Palestinian immigrants showed up back home in Michigan and danced at a big wedding — maskless.
The hypocrisy of the Left, Paul replied, is limitless.
Paul’s Rebellion
On August 9, Senator Paul posted a video to YouTube urging Americans to ignore the CDC.
“It’s time for us to resist,” he began. “They can’t arrest us all. They can’t keep all your kids home from school. They can’t keep every government building closed — although I’ve got a long list of ones they might ought to keep closed.
Paul called those who advocated masking and lockdown power-mad “petty tyrants and bureaucrats” to whom Americans “can simply say no, not again.”
Nancy Pelosi — you will not arrest or stop me or anyone on my staff from doing our jobs. We have all either had COVID, had the vaccine, or been offered the vaccine. We will make our own health choices. We will not show you a passport, we will not wear a mask, we will not be forced into random screenings and testing so you can continue your drunk with power rein over the Capitol.
President Biden — we will not accept your agencies’ mandates or your reported moves toward a lockdown. No one should follow the CDC’s anti-science mask mandates. And if you want to shutdown federal agencies again — some of which aren’t even back to work yet — I will stop every bill coming through the Senate with an amendment to cut their funding if they don’t come to work at-person.
Paul observed that children are no more at risk from the China Virus than they are from the flu, and because every American who works in a school is either vaccinated or had the chance to be, “there is no reason for mask mandates, part-time schools, or any lockdown measures.”
“Children are falling behind in school, and are being harmed physically and psychologically by the tactics that you have used to keep them from the classroom during the last year. We won’t allow it again,” he said:
If a school system attempts to keep the children from full-time, in-person school, I will hold up every bill with two amendments. One to defund them, and another to allow parents the choice of where the money goes for their child’s education.
Do I sound fed up to you? That’s because I am.
I’m not a career politician. I’ve practiced medicine for 33 years. I graduated from Duke Medical School, worked in emergency rooms, I’ve studied immunology and virology, and I ultimately chose to become a surgeon….
I think the tide is turning, and more and more people are willing to stand up. I see stories from across the country of parents standing up to teacher unions and school boards….
I see members of Congress refusing to comply with Petty Tyrant Pelosi.
We are at a moment of truth and a crossroads. Will we allow these people to use fear and propaganda to do further harm to our society, economy, and children?
Or will we stand together and say, absolutely not. Not this time. I choose freedom.
Tlaib’s Rant
Tlaib, an anti-white, anti-Israel radical who pals around with terror apologists, exploded like a suicide bomber.
“The KY Senator is throwing a tantrum as his state is being swallowed whole by this virus, again,” she tweeted:
People are getting sick and dying.
98 counties in Kentucky have a high incidence rate of COVID-19.
He needs to put politics aside, and put people first. Start resisting the virus.
Despite Tlaib’s fuming tweet, she showed up at a big wedding back home. She flashed her unmistakable grin for the cameras. We know that because she wasn’t wearing a mask, as CDC suggested.
She “danced maskless next to members of a large indoor crowd during a wedding in a county where the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidance calls for indoor masking,” Fox News reported of video posted to Instagram. “The video shows a maskless Tlaib posing for pictures and dancing amongst the crowd at the large indoor gathering Sunday.”
The wedding was in Wayne Country, “which is currently rated as an orange zone by the CDC. Orange indicates a county with ‘substantial’ COVID-19 transmission, one of two risk categories the CDC guidelines call for indoor masking for people regardless of their vaccination status.”
Oops.
Paul, the medical doctor, replied with a physician-heal-thyself tweet: “Oh, the hypocrisy of the left knows no bounds.”
